Emily Ratajkowski joins the cast.

The old adage that any publicity is good publicity is true in the case of model and actor Emily Ratajkowski. The brunette Sports Illustrated model, who rose to fame after a controversial appearance in Robin Thicke and Pharrell’s ‘Blurred Lines’ video, will appear in the Entourage movie when it is slated for release on June 15 next year. She'll reportedly be playing herself in the Entourage movie.

The video responsible for her rise to fame currently has around 280 million YouTube views. Before that her on-screen stints included small parts in movies and a role in the Nickelodeon kid’s show iCarly in 2009-10.

On the anti-feminist objections to her nude appearance in Thicke’s clip she told Esquire magazine “On the surface level, the naked women dancing, I understand that can be perceived that way. But we're directed to have a sort of confidence, a sarcastic attitude about the whole situation. That eye contact and that attitude really puts us in a power situation.” Ratajkowski got the role in the video as well as Maroon 5’s ‘Love Somebody’ clip after appearing topless on the cover of Treats! Magazine.

This is one of two upcoming movie roles; the other in David Fincher’s adaptation of best-selling book Gone Girl which is set for release this year. Knowing the nature of Entourage’s subject matter we’re predicting the former will be the less controversial role.
